Hot & Humid. Doesn't seem quite as miserable today as it did yesterday.
Hot, humid, muggy, overcast, steamy..........
Four homes were destroyed by fire in my area over the weekend. The cause: a discarded cigarette butt tossed out a window. We're in a level 2 drought and there is a ban on open burning. Sadly 4 families lost their homes because s/one tossed a butt out (talk about a burn and run). If you are in a drought area and smoke, please use an ashtray--do not toss the butt out the window, s/one could lose their home because of your carelessness. My lawn is so dry, it sounds as if one is walking across a bowl of cornflakes (and looks about the same)! The gardens are suffering. We watered for 4 hours on Friday. The pump draws 100 gallons / hour. That's a lot of water. We're hoping our wells don't go dry. Perfecting my rain dance...It's 75*f about 8am.Calling 96 full sun today.Everyone's yard is so dry you could throw a cigg down & yard would be in flames in just secs.Everytime it rains,20mins & it's gone
Zhizara, what are you doing up at 4am?
It's about par for me. My shoulders start to hurt so I can't sleep. I usually go back to bed for another couple of hours around 7 or 8 a.m.
